Got a little surprise while sneaking up on a big bull

[longstevo]

I saw a beautiful five point bull elk while hunting earlier this year, so I was trying to close the distance to get a picture of him (I was hunting early deer muzzle) and I got the surprise of my life. 

Behind some bushes only fifteen yards away, I saw elk antlers moving in a feeding motion.  Somehow I had stumbled upon a four point raghorn satellite bull without him knowing about me!  Ha! 

So I got a picture, but my camera doesn't have a great zoom, so this is what I got.

Well, ok, you're right.  As I think about it, there's been tons of 'surprises of lifetimes.'  I guess it was just 'one hell of a surprise!'

to me its always just cool to see elk, even if you can't shoot them. i have hunted a very hard game unit to kill elk for a few years now and some times we go a whole season without seeing elk. i love to just see them i hunted the rimrock unit this year and that was cool i got to see elk they were just way to many miles away except for the group we got into and another one bites the dust yeah!

I love being in the woods, and finding an animal I had no clue it was there.
